Summer movies: Some like it cool

Summer movies: Some like it cool

Savannahians have another option — classic films on the big screen in the lush and luxurious Lucas Theatre, and right around the corner, in the Trustees Theater.

Review: Man of Steel

Review: Man of Steel

There's a strong possibility that Man of Steel might be the most boring superhero saga ever filmed.

Review: Before Midnight

Review: Before Midnight

It's a beautifully sustained piece of cinema, raw and authentic and emotional.

Review: The Internship

Review: The Internship

The two stars still get the lion's share of the choice quips, but that's OK: They're both on their game, and it's their ingratiating ways with a line that keeps the humor percolating.

Summer movie preview

Summer movie preview

More flicks than you can shake a bead of sweat at
The 2013 summer movie season began with a heavy metal act (Iron Man 3, which opened May 3) and will end with a pop performance (One Direction: This Is Us, the boy-band documentary that's out Aug. 30). In between, Hollywood will emit a steady siren song that will ensnare moviegoers of all stripes.

Documentary examines possible extraterrestrial technology
"The friend said 'I think I saw something I'm not supposed to see' — stealth technology and some type of manmade antigravity craft. We're talking about potentially faster than light."

Review: Now You See Me

This is one of those films where the plot can only progress if characters perform a specific act at a specific time, or where one unanticipated reaction from a peripheral character would unravel all the plans.

Review: Fast & Furious 6

Review: Fast & Furious 6

**1/2 Generally speaking, any series that has managed to make its way to a sixth installment is running solely on fumes, but that's not the case with the Fast & Furious brand. This wildly inconsistent franchise seems to rise and fall on whenever the muse randomly hits its creators, which may be often (2011's series-best Fast 5), inconsistently (the 2001 original, The Fast and the Furious) or not at all (2003's wince-inducing 2 Fast 2 Furious).

Review: The Great Gatsby

Review: The Great Gatsby

Baz Luhrmann misses an opportunity to draw out parallels to modernity and instead comes across as a cover band director - someone whose celebrated directorial ambitions coattail the mastery of others who came before him.

Review: Star Trek Into Darkness

Review: Star Trek Into Darkness

J.J. Abrams' second Trek film is an unqualified success, and it promises a bright future for this tireless franchise.

Review: Iron Man 3

Review: Iron Man 3

With The Avengers still fresh in everyone's minds, this tin-man outing might seem even more tinny to many prospective viewers.
